Nicole is wonderful! Very responsible, provided updates regularly with photos and videos of our babies in action or at rest. They loved her like one of the family. Guess she is now!

Nicole is an amazing pet sitter. She loves the fur babies and they love her. Came home to a well cared for fur family and house. Everyone was happy and not stressed during the whole experience. She is responsive and sends lots of updates - including pictures! We will definitely work with her again - the fur babies can’t wait!

Nicole was amazing! My dogs and cat warmed to her right away. She is a great communicator. I’ve never felt so confident leaving my animals in another’s care.
